Mollie Hemingway tweeted out this must-must read thread on Liz Cheney last night to explain to those not paying attention what’s *really* going on right now.
“If you’re pretending this is only about joining with media/Pelosi for impeachment, you’re not serious”:
That anyone is talking about Cheney is proof of her failure. Her job is to raise $$ (she doesn't), stay on message (HA!), and not undermine caucus (it's all she does). If you're pretending this is only about joining with media/Pelosi for impeachment, you're not serious.

It’s not her “hatred for Trump,” Mollie writes. It’s that Cheney is not doing her job:
Yes, we know she seethes with hatred for Trump as much as she loves decades-long interventionist wars without exit strategies or metrics for success. Good for her. But that's not what her job is, and, in fact, her twin obsessions have repeatedly led her down the wrong path…

For example. . .
“E.g., not only was she not a needed truth-teller in pushing back against media/Democrats’ false and dangerous 2016 election conspiracy theory about Russia, and its many attendant problems, she was also the prime pusher of the discredited, anonymously sourced Russian bounty story”:

And don’t buy the media’s new love for the Cheney dynasty for a second:
Just to keep the obvious points coming, WashPo, et. al, aren't all-hands-on-deck helping out Liz Cheney because they like Republicans, ok? They run Dem propaganda. They're trying to keep her and her unpopular ideas prominent in the GOP because she hurts the GOP.
